Ning Zhuo gained enlightenment before the battle and learned the spell "Water Strike Three Thousand" from Linghu Jiu.

But his three thousand water strikes were not ordinary, but like a dragon or a python, constantly moving through and attacking together, forming three massive blows.

Shen Lingshu didn't know the truth, and he lost his composure. His eyes widened and he was shocked. "The rumored extraordinary comprehension, I finally saw it with my own eyes today. Is this the Son of Calamity? He is indeed extraordinary!"

Zhu Xuanji also said: "Ning Zhuo's comprehension is so strong? No wonder he has made such progress in wood magic! He is worthy of being chosen by the three masters."

Ning Jiufan, Lin Bufan, Lin Shanshan and others knew the truth.

This was because Ning Zhuo had received further guidance from the Five Elements God Lord under the Lingyin Willow Tree and had told everyone around him the truth about how his realm had been elevated.

Not only Sun Lingtong and Ning Juesu, but even Linghu Jiu did not hide anything.

Since Linghu Jiu knew it, Lin Bufan and Lin Shanshan naturally knew it too.

Lin Bufan stopped stroking his beard, his eyes flashing with brilliance: "Ning Zhuo, that brat, to what level has his Five Elements realm been elevated?"

"To be able to achieve this level, to be able to learn it after just one look... at least a master."

When reaching the Grandmaster level, one has mastered the essential principles. All Grandmaster-level cultivators can follow the essential principles and create various spells and techniques.

Grandmaster, Grandmaster, is the one who founded a school of thought.

Ning Zhuo's understanding of the art at this moment was essentially the result of him having already mastered the essential principles of water movement. When he saw Linghu Jiu performing the Three Thousand Water Strike Technique, it was like he had seen some method of applying water movement.

He then imitated this method of application according to the logic, which was like looking down from a high vantage point, so naturally the success rate of imitation was extremely high.

Ning gave in and grinned, letting out a silent laugh.

Ning Zhuo's amazing performance made him, the ancestor of the Ning family, proud.

"Ning Zhuo... is still reliable!"

"The Grandmaster-level Five Elements Realm... Even I feel envious. I have practiced till now but have not reached this level. But Ning Zhuo, this brat, has achieved it just by chance after a few days and nights."

"How can this be justified?"

Lin Shanshan also understood: "I understand."

"Ning Datou's Five Elements realm is too high, so he can see through any Five Elements spell he sees."

"He has already mastered the principles from the inside out. As for how to apply them, he only needs to imitate a few things to be able to imitate them."

"As for the wood and water spells of our eldest brother, as long as he is given some time to try and make mistakes, he will be able to do it well after a few attempts."

"Doesn't that mean that he can understand all the Five Elements enlightenment diagrams at a glance?"

"Can't he learn all the five elements magic in the world in an instant?"

"Oh my god, how old is Ning Zhuocai?!"

Even though Lin Shanshan was a tolerant person, she felt a strong sense of envy and even jealousy at this moment.

She couldn't help but feel angry, feeling like she was living a dog's life and wasting too much time. But then she thought, even if she studied hard, she couldn't reach Ning Zhuo's level.

This is because the guidance of the Five Elements God, Lingyin Willow, and so on, are all unique opportunities that are difficult for ordinary people to replicate!

Realizing this, Lin Shanshan became even angrier: "Why didn't I encounter such a good thing?"

Linghu Jiu was the first to accept it.

He was surprised and delighted, and praised him: "Brother Ning Zhuo, what a great realm!"

Ning Zhuoze quickly said, "Brother, you are too kind. I just received help from the wise men, not my own efforts. It's really hard to say."

But the next moment, the Five Elements Divine Lord's laughter could be heard: "Hahaha, what's so bad about speaking up? Boy, you're just too modest."

"You must know that it is impossible for ordinary people to increase their Five Elements realm so much under my guidance."

"You have a rare talent for understanding, and you have the help of immortals. Given time, you will surely be able to sweep the world, or at least dominate one side!"

Hearing the Five Elements God's comments, everyone had different expressions.

Ning Zhuo's heart skipped a beat: "Immortal talent? My second talent, no, my original talent, is it the best?"

Zhu Xuanji and Shen Lingshu were not surprised. They all thought that as a son who was destined to face the calamity, it was natural for him to have such achievements. If he could not achieve this in the future, how could he face the great calamity of the battle between Buddha and Demon?

Ning Jiufan was pleasantly surprised: "Ning Zhuo has a promising future. A dragon has emerged from our Ning family. A prosperous future is just around the corner!"

Lin Shanshan and Lin Bufan's expressions were much more complicated.

Lin Bufan fell into deep thought. Ning Zhuo's future achievements were so huge. He had the talent of an immortal. Now he was only sixteen years old, and his Five Elements Realm had at least reached the Grandmaster level in the Water Element. He could get such guidance from the Five Elements God. Given time, his achievements would definitely surpass his own!

Since such people are not enemies, how should we deal with them?

"My eldest disciple Linghu Jiu is only a top-notch talent. He is lazy and straightforward. Even if he inherits my Wanyao Sect in the future, I'm afraid he will only be able to maintain the status quo."

"Comparatively, Ning Zhuo, this little bastard, is ambitious, skillful, and good at talking. He is even more decisive and ruthless when he takes action."

"Although I am very angry about Shanshan's kidnapping, if I put aside my personal feelings, think about it, this move was quick, accurate, and ruthless. If it were me, I would do the same."

"What if...what if I marry Shanshan to him?"

Suddenly, a bold idea popped up in Lin Bufan's mind.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shift his gaze and look at Lin Shanshan.

Lin Shanshan also had a complicated expression, with both joy and resentment on her face.

Her thoughts were in turmoil, her eyes sparkling, "This stinky guy, I felt he was extraordinary the first time I saw him. My vision was right!"

Seeing his beloved daughter staring at Ning Zhuo, Lin Bufan felt mixed emotions and rejected his previous thoughts: "No, Shanshan has such a personality and skills. If she really marries Ning Zhuo, I'm afraid she will be eaten up without leaving any bones."

"Ning Zhuo is thick-skinned and treacherous. He is definitely not a good match for Shanshan."

"On the contrary, Jiu'er is straightforward and generous. He has deep feelings for Shanshan and will definitely not treat Shanshan unfairly in the future."

In order to gain power and practice, Lin Bufan married, had a daughter, and recruited many disciples.

But as he had said to everyone in the reception room before - people change.

After spending time together day and night, as Lin Bufan devoted his energy to Lin Shanshan, Linghu Jiu and others, his thoughts as a father and master gradually changed him.

He also hopes that Lin Shanshan's future will be stable.

Water travel - surrounded by clear water.

Ning Zhuo laughed out loud, imitated successfully again, and mastered a new magic.

Jade-like water flowed around him. He stepped on the water and used the Water Strike Technique, forcing Linghu Jiu to retreat again and again.

The battlefield environment that Linghu Jiu had worked so hard to transform also became something that Ning Zhuo could use.

In terms of geographical location, both of them benefited equally.

Linghu Jiu took a deep breath and immediately came up with a new tactic.

He laughed loudly: "Brother, can you imitate the following spell?"

Wind Spell - Wind and Waves! The strong wind swept across the ground, forming a turbulent wind wave, which collided with Water Strike 3,000 and defeated Water Strike.

Wind-driven magic—Feng Linglan!

Linghu Jiu rushed over again. Wherever he went, the wind was extremely fierce and the surging waters fell down powerlessly and collapsed into pieces.

Ning Zhuo gritted his teeth, but he couldn't see through it.

Although wind, thunder, ice, magnetism, etc. are closely related to the Five Elements, strictly speaking, they are not included in the Five Elements.

Popular magic-a romantic spell of the generation.

Eight-direction swordsmanship - the sword from above.

Linghu Jiu held a sharp sword in his hand, looking unrestrained and dashing. The sword light was like water and wind. He was able to use magic to blend swordsmanship and unleash an offensive force far beyond his previous attack.

Linghu Jiu took advantage of the situation and pursued him, with a strong wind blowing stronger and stronger.

Ning Zhuo secretly said "bad", realizing that he had just made a mistake. Linghu Jiu's offensive was smooth sailing, and the more he had the upper hand, the stronger he became.

The best strategy is to curb and suppress it before it begins to sprout and gain momentum.

At this moment, Ning Zhuo's magic alone is difficult to stop, the only way is...

The next moment, Ning Zhuo decisively released the mechanical creation.

There are as many as thirty floating mechanisms with arms, legs and feet.

Ning Zhuo slightly opened the ten fingers of both hands and moved them frequently, pulling or tugging, sometimes straightening them, sometimes curling them up.

Thirty mechanical creations were divided into three waves and rushed towards Linghu Jiu one after another.

The upper wind sword chopped at the mechanical creatures, causing damage immediately, but not seriously. Ning Zhuo used solid materials on them, all of which were foundation-building grade materials.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Frost Fist.

Old cold legs.

Suffering body! Especially the latter one, which makes the damaged mechanism even stronger.

Linghu Jiu was forced to switch from offense to defense. The long sword in his hand danced with brilliant sword light, firmly guarding all directions.

Beside him, thirty mechanical fists and kicks were attacking in turns, cooperating with each other tacitly, forming a continuous offensive that made Linghu Jiu tired of defending.

Seeing the battle situation being overturned again, the expressions of the spectators were slightly shaken.

Many people asked themselves, how does their foundation-building level compare to Ning Zhuo and Linghu Jiu? How could they have such endless tricks! Ning Zhuo launched an offensive and decisively increased the stakes.

He controlled the mechanical creations while casting spells.

"The veins of the earth are hidden, the roots are deep, the vines are entangled, and all things are imprisoned. Rise!"

Roots and vines appeared out of nowhere and entangled Linghu Jiu. Even if it was only for a few moments, it created a flaw that was enough for the mechanical creature to punch and kick him.

"The pine wind whistles, the green waves surge, the forest sea surges, and the earth overturns. Swing!"

The emerald green light was like a tide, sweeping Linghu Jiu off his feet. Jigan's fists and feet followed him like a shadow, beating him repeatedly.

"The ancient trees are lush and green, the tree world is vast, the sky and the earth are changing color, and the spiritual roots are born. Come!"

The ancient tree forest reappeared, and countless branches, leaves, vines and roots combined with mechanical fists and feet pressed Linghu Jiu tightly and trapped him in a corner.

Linghu Jiu's injuries were getting worse and worse. Not only was he beaten black and blue, but there was also a lot of frost on his body. His fighting power had declined severely, and he was on the verge of defeat!

Lin Bufan and Lin Shanshan's expressions changed slightly.

Ning Zhuo's combat power was definitely enough to win the championship in Xiaozheng Peak. Even Lai Wuying and Zheng Xingchen, who were ranked the highest, could hardly stop his attack.

Ning gave in, stroking his beard and smiling.

Linghu Jiu whistled softly, and at the crucial moment of victory or defeat, he finally played his trump card!

He wielded the sword softly and gracefully.

The sword intent dissipated, ethereal and vague, as if it existed and not, as if life was like a dream, real and unreal.

The Lonely Sword Sutra - Jiang Yue Ruo Meng.

Life is like a dream, let me pour a cup of wine to the moon in the river... Ning Zhuo suddenly saw an illusion. Linghu Jiu was riding on a lonely boat, raising his glass to invite the moon shadow in the river.

By the time Ning Zhuo reacted, he had already been hit! Most of the thirty mechanical fists and feet had fallen apart, and countless vines were dying and unable to flourish.

Linghu Jiu broke the siege with one move.

He rushed towards Ning Zhuo, and halfway through, he aimed the long sword in his hand at Ning Zhuo and stabbed him straight in the face!

At this moment, the battlefield is like deep water surrounding ancient trees, and Ning Zhuo is hidden in the tree canopy.

Seeing Linghu Jiu coming to assassinate him, Ning Zhuo certainly would not wait there.

He cast the wood-based spell, Fragrance and Flower, and teleported away instantly.

But Linghu Jiu had already made a plan. Without changing his posture at all, he took advantage of the situation to launch his second move.

Lonely Sword Scripture - A lonely boat in the snow! He and the sword become one, like a boat sailing on a snowy sea, with every move turning. Like a lonely boat on a river, fearless of the waves! Fishing alone in a cold river, his heart is like a lonely boat...

Lonely and determined.

Ning Zhuo's eyes were once again filled with hallucinations. He saw snow falling and Linghu Jiu fishing alone in a boat in the river, occasionally taking a sip of cold wine from his gourd.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a sharp sword light enlarged in front of him.

Linghu Jiu's sword moves ignored the teleportation and directly locked onto Ning Zhuo!

In an instant, Ning Zhuo's pupils constricted, alarm bells rang in his heart, and he felt a strong threat.

"Dasheng protects me!"

He slapped his belt and released a Jindan-level mechanical monkey.

Heavy-armored Blood Ape Dasheng! Yuan Dasheng was huge and burly, like a city gate, directly blocking Linghu Jiu's way forward.

Linghu Jiu's sword strikes Yuan Dasheng, leaving a shallow sword mark. Yuan Dasheng howls, raises his arms, and rushes towards Linghu Jiu, trying to hug him.

Wood Element——Xuzhu’s empty shadow.

Linghu Jiu's phantom was hugged, and his real body bypassed Yuan Dasheng and continued to rush towards Ning Zhuo.

Lonely Sword Scripture - Lonely Snow at the End of the World! Linghu Jiu struck with his sword, and the sword light spread out, turning into floating white snow, drifting endlessly, lonely and cold to the bone.

Loneliness, poverty, and even despair as if his heart was dead filled Ning Zhuo's soul.

Ning Zhuo snorted coldly. Forced into a desperate situation, he brazenly took out the giant snake sickle!

This is the Night Rain Demon Soldier!

Zhu Xuanji's expression suddenly changed.

He was deeply impressed by the mechanical sickle.

"Oh no! It's Tianya Guxue!" Lin Shanshan suddenly jumped down and intervened in the battlefield.

"Big Brother's move has not been practiced well enough to be used freely. However, this move is extremely powerful and could endanger Ning Zhuo's life!"

With great worry, Lin Shanshan was anxious and without thinking too much, she fell between Ning Zhuo and Linghu Jiu and tried her best to stop them.

"Junior Sister!" Linghu Jiu was shocked and quickly changed his tactics.

"This?!" Seeing Lin Shanshan with her back to him, completely defenseless, Ning Zhuo had already swung the snake sickle with all his strength, but could only deflect it.

Boom! A purple sickle-shaped blade light flew out and hit the empty space on the battlefield, leaving a purple blade mark that lasted for a long time.

Linghu Jiu's sword light bypassed Lin Shanshan, stopped at Ning Zhuo's throat, and turned into a sharp sword again.

The three of them froze.

Ning Zhuo stared at the sword under his chin and said in a dry voice: "I lost."

Linghu Jiu looked at the purple knife marks that still remained, with a look of fear in his eyes, and slowly put away his sword: "No, I lost."

The Five Elements Divine Lord took the initiative to show up. He stared at the purple knife marks and asked with emotion, "What kind of method is this?"

As a Dharmakaya, he possessed a fighting force at the level of Refining Void. To him, the purple knife marks were like tiny raindrops, not worth mentioning. What moved him was the essence contained in the purple knife marks! Lin Bufan's expression also froze. From the moment Ning Zhuo swung the knife with all his strength this time, he felt the power that could threaten him.

A mere early stage of foundation building could actually threaten the Nascent Soul stage!? This is out of the realm of possibility! (End of this chapter)
